We did it again! J & I attended another lovely Sur La Table cooking class this past weekend and we had a blast. J has given me these classes as gifts two Christmases in a row and it’s starting to become quite a yummy tradition.

Y'all know I enjoy cooking. It never used to be one of my favorite things to do, but the older I get (and the second I moved out on my own), I learned I need to have some basic skills in order for myself and my waistline to survive adulthood.

Because we've been out-of-town so many weekends lately, J and I jump at the opportunity to spend quality time together at home on the weekends we don't have plans. We realized we really enjoy making meals together, so when we do have a night to relax and unwind, cooking together helps us connect. The wine helps, too. :P

J and I have always loved cooking with each other. Well, in the early days of our relationship we enjoyed baking more so than cooking because, at that time, I did not enjoy spending an hour making dinner. And when I say baking, I really mean going to the grocery store to pick up milk and Nestle break-away cookies so we could bake them while we watched Spartacus at his apartment.
